- Effects of alcohol abuse among secondary school learners on teacher promotion of quality teaching and learning appear to be increasing dramatically. However, little is known concerning effects of alcohol abuse among secondary learners who abuse alcohol in the Vhembe District of Limpopo Province. This study examined the effects of alcohol abuse among secondary school learners around Vhembe District of Limpopo Province in South Africa. A purposive sample of 200 learners was selected from ten secondary schools in the district. A qualitative and quantitative design was followed in this study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents after obtaining permission and consent from learners to take part in the study. The data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS Version 22) focusing on frequencies and frequency percentages and cross tabulations. For the qualitative component, interviews were used to gather data. Qualitative data was thematically analysed. The results from the study show that alcohol abuse has adverse effects on teaching and learning. Learners who abuse alcohol find it difficult to effectively take part in school activities thus performing poorly. The study concludes that drug abuse has adverse effects on learner academic performance. A model for promoting quality teaching and learning among students who abuse alcohol in secondary schools around Vhembe District of Limpopo Province developed may assist in reducing the use and effects of alcohol amongst learners in the district and elsewhere.
